Mid-Week Challenge

Have you ever been cut off in traffic? For a lot of drivers, the quickestway to get their blood to boil is cutting them off on the interstate. Onecar jets in front of the other, the driver lays on the horn. The otherdriver slams on his breaks in retaliation. Nothing can cause road ragebetter than the sound of a horn blown in anger! These situations rarely endwell. Recently we have seen too many of these encounters end with someoneshooting a gun at the other. Reading a Break Point article today I wasreminded of how nice it would be, instead of using our car horn indispleasure, if we had a "happy honk." https://www.southernthing.com/the-happy-honk-is-the-perfect-horn-for-southern-drivers-2584058486.html

Today, instead of acting on your first instinct when provoked, why not pausea moment and think of the happy honk. It might not be a real thing but itmight make you chuckle enough to get your mind back in a good place!
